I searched a lot for methods to send GET request with JSON body.. I know it doesn't go with the GET request specs but I'm required to do that anyway.

I managed to send the request with body using Curl, but now the body is not recognized by the play application.

I want to ask if I can do this using the play framework.

Thanks.

GET requests don't have bodies – SLaks May 11 '14 at 22:06

It's technically possible to send a GET with a body. It will either be ignored or rejected though. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/978061/http-get-with-request-body – kapex May 11 '14 at 22:15
Are you trying to send a GET with a body using Play or receive a GET with a body? – Ryan May 12 '14 at 01:00
Thanks all.. @Ryan I'm trying to receive GET with a body – Sherif Gamal May 12 '14 at 09:42
What error do you get when you load request.body? Or is it just empty/null? – Nonos May 12 '14 at 18:58
@Nonos the body reaches the server as null – Sherif Gamal May 12 '14 at 20:28
I have had DELETE with body working (although it's also not RESTful and is not supported in the test) but I could read the body ok. – Nonos May 12 '14 at 20:55
